Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1988 Edition. © 1987: 2nd in the 'Chronoplane Wars' series of books. 1st printing of 1988 edition:- Synopsis: They gambled for the future with a dead world's past. Hard times, tough man. It was the 1990s and the world was going to pieces. Poverty was up, employment was down, and bashing foreign cars was in. Revolutionaries of every kind stalked the streets. The government ruled by martial law and its last minute solutions to critical problems were only stopgaps. One of the few people willing to fight the coming end of Civilization was Jerry Pierce. A colonel barely out of his teens, Pierce learned early not to let scruples, friendship, or inconvenient dead bodies stand between him and doing a job right. And a good thing too - because it wasn't just civilization he was fighting to preserve, it was all Mankind and the planet Earth itself:- (original cost £2.99).

Since the age of eleven, when he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lolla-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumsaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage has far more brutal plans for the Indians. When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller - a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers - to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumsaw.

Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, suddenly disappears; it is as though it has never existed. Shortly after, a mysterious mound, evidently a disguised spaceship, is found in the Californian desert.
